3) FFXI is such a huge timesink already, why make it harder? Translated: I have no life and now I want an unlife.

Edit:

I think this is because: 1) I mean it. 2) In the right frame of mind and all the newest updates, this really isn't a challenge and 3) You might like your new character and it will BECOME a new timesink for you; if you want to go balls out pimping it.
